I joined this in good faith, and then searched the entire forum for some more serious registration type thingy whatev. So, i started to think "Bah, i wont bother being part of this if the only thing here are some people on a forum saying noodly, and meaty, and spaghetti over and over again..." Theres no structure, no order... to me, its all chaos.

I think the best way to solve this would be Bobby sitting down, creating the ranks, posting them here, and start assigning 'em. (ofcourse the mods and admins would have to help). If were all gonna be like, ooh, i wanna be that! its gonna go nowhere.

furthermore, certificates is a must if we want people to really feel that they belong...

Now to the other point:
I would happily make flyers and posters and hang 'em up here in my town. i could start making a few and posting them here, to see what you think...
i would also happily make a norwegian FSM site, if other norwegians are willing to help. (unless, ofcourse, there already is a norwegian FSM site)

Sadly, as much as I really love chaos, we really need to put forth a solid answer. Either come up with ranks that are permanant (or... semi-permanant) as in the above message. Or (much like the faith of my background) have no formal clergy, and just let people teach and interperate as they may (with a healthy dose of guidence, ie, the forum).

And, if I may say...
Noodly Noodly Noodly! Spaghetti! Woo!

Ahem, thank you and RAmen.

All over this wooooooorld

Thats exactly the thing... I think the admins/Bobby/mods should just create something together, and people would just have to follow that. After all, you are His profets, the chosen ones. What you say, should be interpreted as His words, no?

Anyway, id like to put together a creative team to make flyers which i can spread around in my town... preferably, the team would consist of me, another norwegian (as the flyers would be in norwegian), an admin, and a mod. if anyones interested, contact me...?

how would we attain these ranks? of course, mods and admins and people like DD and others would be higher ranking, but what about the little people? personally, i don't think it should be decided for most people on the website, just what the ranks ARE and stuff for admins and whatnot. the Pope certianly does not know the name of every priest in the world.

or does he?:shock:

probably not.

also, i know that pirate ranks are decided by ammount of boatage you have. if you have a boat, yer a captian, more than one boat commadont. these facts are purely from Pirates Of The Caribbian, but i'd say its a reliable source.

just my three dollars and fifty eight cents.

Any statistical increase in the usage of the emoticon since becoming Admin should not be considered significant, meaningful, or otherwise cause for worry.
